Happy Hopperz

****

Initial Thoughts: What a blast from the past! Happy Hopperz are inflatable animals that your children bounce on. They are reminiscent of 1970’s space hoppers, but with feet for balance and decent handles (usually the ears). You can choose from various brightly coloured animals, ranging from elephants to pandas. Happy Hopperz even have reindeer due in for Christmas.

We Liked: When Presley, our three year old, first saw our inflated blue bull he ran over to it and quickly worked out how to make it move. Our bouncy bull is now part of the family. His name is Clover! Presley absolutely loves Clover, it was a delight to see the grin on his face as he bounced around the house. We liked that our Happy Hopper was easy to inflate. It’s made from EU approved phthalates free pvc. It feels durable and it can even take my weight (ahem). Our two year old, Cash, likes to bounce up and down on Clover, but hasn’t worked out how to make him move. We’re all perfectly happy with this arrangement!

We weren’t keen: You do need to supervise your little ones on their Happy Hopperz. As with any toy that bounces there is a chance of instability. Presley fell off a couple of times because he was a little out of control. You just need to make sure they have plenty of room to bounce around.

Overall: Happy Hopperz are cool toys. They are great fun and excellent value for money.
